00:00And Matt Turner has to come and get there. The referee blowing the whistle for a handball.
00:07But again, uncomfortable moments. Yeah, that's the other thing.
00:11Pulisic on the edge of the box here. Can he get the shot clear? He can't.
00:17And now driven straight in for the opening goal of the game from Tim Weir.
00:22And it has taken less than four minutes for the United States to take
00:26the lead in Greg Berhalter's first game back in charge.
00:33I watched this first touch from Weston McKinney. He's just so skillful. Incredible touch balance.
00:41So many defenders around him in perfect pace on that layoff. And this will give you a better
00:46look at that skill. Just incredible. And this deflection right here. Yeah, it's heading in
00:53that direction anyway. You just wonder if the goalkeeper, because of the tough angle, can get a
00:58hand to that. And he's positioned to. So it's the deflection that really, this is the angle you're
01:02going to see. It's coming right at him near post. Weir has Balogun in the middle. They'll just hold
01:08up and wait for Dest. Dest flipping that cross in. McKinney at the back post. Back across goal.
01:14It's off the post towards Pulisic who couldn't follow up. But now it's Luka Delatore.
01:20Delatore from distance. And save. Ball by Yusupov. He started that movement to get them on this break.
01:27Watch Weston McKinney just find this perfect timing and knock it back. And Balogun maybe
01:32just a couple steps back to make that angle easier. Was a wonderful player. Oh yeah.
01:40This ball coming towards the far post and off the bar from Alekzhanov.
01:43Uzbekistan, the 74th ranked team in the world. That goes off the head of Pulisic. All the way to
01:52the back post and trimming across without causing Matt Turner any problems. All the way forward
01:58from the back it was Umarbek Esmeradov. Esmeradov once again with that cross into the middle.
02:09And Matt Turner has to come and get there. The referee blowing the whistle for a handball.
02:16But again uncomfortable moments. Yeah that's the other thing.
02:20Pulisic on the edge of the box here. Can he get the shot clear? He can't.
